In this bonus episode, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daron Acemoglu joins Sam to challenge some of the most common assumptions about artificial intelligence's future. Drawing on his book Power and Progress, Daron argues that technology doesn't have a fixed destiny — and that today's choices will determine whether AI boosts workers or simply accelerates automation and inequality. He makes a case for focusing on new tasks that complement human skills, rather than replacing them, and warns that current incentives push AI toward centralization and automation by default. The conversation tackles productivity myths, reliability risks, and why regulation should proactively steer AI toward social good. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Daron Acemoglu is an institute professor at MIT, faculty codirector of the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work, and a research affiliate at MIT's newly established Blueprint Labs. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, American Philosophical Society, the British Academy of Sciences, the Turkish Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Econometric Society, the European Economic Association, and the Society of Labor Economists. He is also a member of the Group of Thirty. He has authored six books, including Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity with Simon Johnson. His work in economics has been recognized around the world, notably with the Nobel Prize in economic sciences, along with co-laureates Johnson and James A. Robinson, in 2024. *Please take our listener survey: ⁠⁠mitsmr.com/podcastsurvey⁠⁠ It's short — we promise! — and all respondents will receive a free MIT SMR article collection, "Maximizing the Value of Generative AI."

After circling the theme for a long time, we finally found the right entry point: scarcity. Scarcity here doesn't only refer to economic downturns — Hollywood strikes, collapsing box office numbers, or the cost-of-living crisis. It points to something deeper: a collective psychological state in which the imagination of a better future has eroded. When confidence disappears, desire curdles into resentment, sarcasm, and anger. We talk about a Korean film in which an unemployed man systemically eliminates his competitors just to survive. We discuss the collapse of Hollywood's liberal narrative framework. We explore why Gen Z no longer believes in Harry Potter–style heroism. In an era defined by polarization, atomization, and algorithmic manipulation, how do we find an antidote? Perhaps the answer lies in doing things that feel inefficient but concrete — bringing vegetables to a neighbor, telling a story slowly and carefully. 【时间轴 The When】 00:00 什么是“匮乏感”?它不只是缺钱,而是对未来失去信心。当希望消失,欲望会转化为愤怒和犬儒。 05:30 从《无路可逃》和《爱丁顿》说起。当资源紧缩,他人变成路障。传统“供养者”男性叙事在现代系统中崩塌。 12:11 自由主义叙事开始失效。观众厌倦好莱坞的说教,《The Studio》揭示的是文化工业的瘫痪与精英脱节。 23:36 代际断裂。为什么 Gen Z 对《哈利波特》那种九十年代式的乐观主义越来越无感,Gen Z 成长于极化与停滞之中,不再相信善恶分明的世界。 36:00 我们开始怀旧:布拉德·皮特和《F1》是一个典型例子,电影构建了一个没有政治争议、只有输赢规则的世界。传统男性气概重新被召唤。你爹还是你爹。这种叙事满足了人们对确定性的渴望,也提供了一种逃避复杂现实的方式。 47:50 性别角色回潮。《爱情盲选》和 tradwife 现象反映了在极化时代中对安全感的表演式追寻。 55: 50 AI 并未带来连接,反而放大分裂,我们开始怀疑“科技救世”的神话。《神奇四侠》中的技术乐观主义不复存在。 1:23:30 西方社会 生活成本危机加剧匮乏感。算法利用焦虑制造争吵,社交网络赛博巴尔干化是什么? 1:35:30 结语 拒绝犬儒,从具体行动开始。真实的连接或许是对抗虚无的唯一方式。 00:00 What is “scarcity”? It's not just financial lack, but a loss of faith in the future. When hope disappears, desire turns into anger and cynicism. 05:30 We begin with No Other Choice and Eddington. As resources shrink, other people become obstacles. The traditional male “provider” narrative collapses within the modern system. 12:11 The liberal narrative loses its grip. Audiences are exhausted by Hollywood moralizing. The Studio exposes paralysis within the cultural industry and its detachment from ordinary life. 23:36 A generational rupture. Why Gen Z no longer connects with 1990s optimism like Harry Potter. Raised amid polarization and stagnation, they no longer believe in a morally clear world. 36:00 We turn to nostalgia. Brad Pitt and F1 serve as a key example. The film constructs a world without political conflict — only winners and losers. Traditional masculinity is revived. “Daddy is still daddy.” It satisfies a longing for certainty and offers escape from complexity. 47:50 The return of gender roles. Love Is Blind and the tradwife phenomenon reflect a performative search for safety in a polarized age. 55:50 AI did not bring connection; it amplified division. We begin to question the myth of technological salvation. The technological optimism of Fantastic Four no longer holds. 1:23:30 The Western cost-of-living crisis deepens scarcity. Algorithms exploit anxiety and manufacture endless conflict. What does cyber-Balkanization of social networks mean? 1:35:30 Conclusion. Reject cynicism and begin with concrete action. Real human connection may be the only antidote to nihilism. 【拓展链接 The Links】 阿花: Beyond the Machine: Creative agency in the AI landscape Personal canon by Celine Nguyen Remaking Liberalism: The Past, Present, and Future of Freedom by Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson 配图:从1998年开始的价格变化 影视/剧集: 电影《无路可逃》(No Other Choice / The AX) 电影《爱丁顿》(Eddington) 电影《F1》 电影《神奇四侠》(Fantastic 4) 剧集《The Studio》 真人秀《爱情盲选》(Love is Blind) 剧集《Abbott Elementary》 书籍/人物/概念: Daron Acemoglu (经济学家) Hanif Abdurraqib (作家/诗人) Tradwife (传统家庭主妇风潮) Cyber-Balkanization (赛博巴尔干化) Identity Politics (身份政治) 【疲惫红书 CyberRed】 除了播客以外,疲惫娇娃的几个女的在小红书上开了官方账号,我们会不定期发布【疲惫在读】、【疲惫在看】、【疲惫旅行】、【疲惫Vlog】等等更加轻盈、好玩、实验性质的内容。如果你想知道除了播客以外我们在关注什么,快来小红书评论区和我们互动。 Apart from the podcast, we have set up an official account on Xiaohongshu.

Economic policy in the second Trump administration continues to undergo significant change. Many of these changes have been enacted through executive orders. What effect have these policies had on economic growth, scientific research, and on American institutions thus far? How might they impact U.S. leadership over the long-term? Simon Johnson joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these questions, drawing on a new book he co-edited, 'The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration: A Preliminary Assessment.'

What if AI is repeating the same mistakes society made during the Industrial Revolution? In this episode of Technovation, Peter is joined by Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics and Ronald A. Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship at the MIT Sloan School of Management Simon Johnson. Throughout their conversation, they explore why automation has historically failed to deliver shared prosperity and why artificial intelligence may be following the same path. Drawing on centuries of economic history, Johnson explains how mechanization once displaced workers faster than new jobs were created, fueling inequality and social unrest. Together, they discuss what today's AI leaders must learn from history, why institutions matter more than technology alone, and how workforce anxiety is an early warning sign of deeper structural problems. Key topics include: Automation vs. job creation AI's impact on entry-level and knowledge work Workforce polarization and regional inequality Lessons from the Industrial Revolution for today's leaders What it takes to align innovation with shared prosperity

C dans l'air du 4 septembre 2025 - Faut-il plus taxer les riches ?En cette rentrée, la question revient en force dans le débat politique. Et cette fois, c'est le Parti socialiste qui remet le sujet sur la table en proposant d'inclure la taxe Zucman au budget 2026, sur lequel le gouvernement promet de faire des compromis, alors qu'il se trouve sur la sellette à l'approche d'un vote de confiance prévu le 8 septembre.Mais de quoi parle-t-on ? Qu'est-ce que la taxe Zucman, au cœur du contre-budget du PS ? Adoptée à l'Assemblée nationale en février dernier (par 116 voix contre 39), puis rejetée au Sénat en juin, cette mesure, inspirée des travaux de l'économiste Gabriel Zucman (qui lui a donné son nom), propose un impôt plancher sur la fortune (IPF) équivalent à 2 % du patrimoine net des ultra-riches dépassant 100 millions d'euros — soit 0,01 % des contribuables, environ 1 800 foyers français. Avec à la clé : entre 15 et 25 milliards de recettes supplémentaires.Soutenue par la gauche, contestée par la droite et l'extrême droite, la mise en œuvre de cette taxe soulève de nombreux débats depuis des semaines.Cet été, sept prix Nobel d'économie ont apporté leur soutien à la mesure : Daron Acemoglu (2024), George Akerlof (2001), Abhijit Banerjee (2019), Esther Duflo (2019), Simon Johnson (2024), Paul Krugman (2008) et Joseph Stiglitz (2001), réunis dans une tribune du Monde parue en juillet. D'autres, en revanche, comme le président du Medef, Patrick Martin, évoquent la menace de l'exil fiscal.Parallèlement, alors qu'une vague historique de transmissions se profile, les propositions de réforme de l'impôt sur les successions se multiplient. Dans un entretien accordé aux Échos, la présidente de l'Assemblée nationale, Yaël Braun-Pivet (Renaissance), évoque la nécessité de ne pas « exclure d'emblée toute hausse d'impôts » et de « se pencher sur la taxation des "super-héritages" ». L'élue des Yvelines explique : « 0,1 % des héritiers reçoivent des montants supérieurs à 13 millions d'euros et ne paient en moyenne que 10 % de droits de succession. »Aujourd'hui, près de la moitié des ménages français ne touche pas d'héritage. Parmi ceux qui en bénéficient, 87 % ne paient aucun droit de succession (chaque parent peut donner jusqu'à 100 000 euros par enfant sans qu'il y ait de droits de donation à payer). Au-dessus, le taux moyen d'imposition effectif sur les successions en France est d'environ 5 %.Autre sujet dans le débat : le train de vie des élus. En réponse à de nombreux messages de Français, le Premier ministre a promis de passer au crible et de supprimer d'éventuels avantages indus dont bénéficieraient les responsables politiques. Il a confié une mission à l'ex-député socialiste René Dosière pour les identifier.LES EXPERTS :- EMMANUEL DUTEIL - Directeur de la rédaction - L'Usine Nouvelle - THOMAS PORCHER - Économiste, professeur à la Paris School of Business, auteur de Le vacataire - RAPHAËLLE BACQUÉ - Grand reporter - Le Monde , auteure de Successions - CAROLINE MICHEL-AGUIRRE - Grand reporter au service France – Nouvel Obs

Tue (Matt) Le-Quang is a Data Reporter at VnExpress.net. He spent time with us today analysing and mapping the upgrade of Vietnam's administrative boundaries. Quoting from his publication VnExpress (Google Translate): "After the reorganization of 34 provinces and cities, the number of commune-level administrative units in Vietnam decreased by 67%, from 10,035 to 3,321 units. Of which, Hanoi merged the most units with a reduction rate of more than 77%."Tue has made a web app about this here. There has been a bit of debate over it the past half decade, such as this 2020 piece from VnExpress. Most recent English coverage I can find is this. The country used to have 63 provinces, now there will be 28 with 6 extra cities as their own areas, for a total of 34. A pertinent quote from that article speaks of large savings for the taxpayer: "This restructuring is projected to reduce the workforce by approximately 250,000 people, including 130,000 officials, civil servants, and public employees, as well as 120,000 part-time workers at the commune level. The reform is expected to save more than VND190 trillion (US$7.3 billion) in the 2026–2030 period."This brings up the work of Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson in Why Nations Fail and The Narrow Corridor.Work for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics along with Simon Johnson. These books are riveting. They describe, as the title of the first says, how destruction of, or failure to maintain, institutions causes a nation to fail. The second book, The Narrow Corridor, is intended - in Daron's words from the second video above - "…to provide a framework that is applicable across ages and across countries for thinking about what supports prosperity, what supports democracy and what supports liberty. The key idea ... is what supports robust participation from the people and we need the state to play a pro liberty, pro prosperity role. In particular to create inclusive markets which have the right legal system, provide equality of opportunity, the right regulations against the powerful actors."It is so inspiring to see their work quoted by a citizen of, and reporter from, Vietnam in the midst of state action to navigate the country into The Narrow Corridor. Thank you to Tue for giving us the privilege of this report and for all the diligence providing insight to the readers of VnExpress through geospatial apps. Clearly he is a talent, and a credit to the education system of Vietnam.

Elsewhere, we react to the news that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged by the FA with violating its anti-doping rules - and could now face up to a four-year ban.We'll be back on Thursday to discuss all the fallout from the ES Tunis game - and hope that the Blues have set up a round of 16 tie to look forward to on Saturday night!HOST: Matt Davies-AdamsWITH: Simon Johnson and Liam TwomeyPRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Hosted on Acast.

On the 10th of March, Chelsea Football Club celebrated its 120th anniversary. It's fair to say from 1905 to 2025 there's been chaos, controversy, jubilation, heartache, success, failure and everything in between.  On this episode, we go back to July 1st, 2003 - and the day the course of the club's history changed forever when Roman Abramovich became owner. Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Dom Fifield and Simon Johnson alongside him to reminisce about the glory days, the José years - and the experience of covering the club during that period. And what was it like to be a fan growing up in that era? Younger fans are often tarred with a glory hunter brush, but Luke Bosher explains what it was like to be introduced to the club when they were serial winners and at the height of their powers. Plus, Liam Twomey's back to help us finish off our overview of the defining fixtures from each decade, from the 1980s through to the modern day. Read Simon's piece on Chelsea's rich history before 2003 Read Liam's piece on Chelsea's most important match from each decadeHOST: Matt Davies-AdamsWITH: Simon Johnson, Liam Twomey, Luke Bosher & Dom Fifield PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Hosted on Acast.

An afternoon of complete nothingness... Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson to look back on the drab 1-0 defeat at The Emirates. We delve into the reasons behind the squad being bereft of confidence, the complete lack of ambition in front of goal, and the struggles without Cole Palmer around to save the day. Plus - what's happened to Jadon Sancho's form and will he be heading back to Manchester United? Then it's back to far happier times 24 hours earlier, as Chelsea Women picked up their first piece of silverware under Sonia Bompastor in a hard-fought 2-1 win over Manchester City at a sandpit in Derby. We'll be back on Thursday with the first of a special series of podcasts charting the 120-year history of the club through all the ups, downs, controversy, trophies and chaos in SW6!
